This guide was built in collaboration by festival lovers for festival lovers. If you’re about to embark on your first journey, we hope this helps makes it a cherished experience. If you’re a seasoned and wisened veteran, we hope you discover just one unusual suggestion that totally delights you; any more is a bonus.

The Companion Guide is split into five:

  1. The Basics: To make the mundane/boring/easily-forgotten logistics straightforward so you never forget your favourite festival water bottle again.
  2. The Magic: Quoting the guide’s original creator: “To be a resource of extraordinary hacks and forget-me-nots to elevate any festival experience.”
  3. The Ether: Guidance on navigating the transcending experiences offered by the molecules so synonymous with the festival culture.
  4. The Philosophy: To provide some thoughts, opinions, advice and ramblings on why we do it and provide guidance on getting the most out of what’s on offer.
  5. The Particular: This is collection of festival-specific pages with the what-you-need-to-know above and beyond the general advice of the Companion Guide.

This guide is also a perpetual work in progress. If you have something you would like to contribute, please don’t hesitate to add it to this Google Doc for us to incorporate.

So with all that in mind, dive right in!
